THE PROSPERITY OF THE FARMER [ The readers of the FARM PRESS will appreciate the privilege of reading the following paper prepared by Cyrus H . McCormick , head of the International Harvester Company , whose name and fame are as wide spread as the product of his great factories . Mr . McCormick was recently invited to address the Economic Club in New York City on the subject of Prosperity of the Farmer . He has kindly allowed the use of that address for publication in FARM PRESS . One of the earliest experiences in the memory of the editor of this paper was helping harvest his fathers grain by the aid of an old-fashioned McCormick reaper of the type which was current before the days of the selfrake , not to mention the self-binder . Since those early days , the name McCormick has been in this editors mind the symbol of solidity and integrity , both in the world of machinery and of business and social life . If the thousands of readers of the FARM PRESS knew all that the editor of th...

THE DAIRY FOR PROFIT , THB BASIS OF OUR MOK STANDARDS Milk standards in the United States are not based on good , sound , common sense . The , best milk for the human race should analyze the same as human milk as near as possible , but most all state and city standards are based on butter fat and other solids . If milk is rich enough to pass inspection , and has not turned sour , there is very little objection made to the dirt it may contain . In large cities milk may be sold to customers a week old and nobody gets up to object . It may contain any kind of dirt so long as it is not sour . In some places the bacteria content is investigated , but the same old three per cent or three and a half per cent butter fat holds . ¦ ¦ The result is , city dairies buy four or five per cent milk from the farmers , run it through their separators and take out all the butter fat . Then they return enough cream , or oil of some kinds , to build the skim milk up to standard and sell it to consumers ...

LIVE STOCK mmmBm-mmtmmmmmmmmmfc _^_ M _^_ MHM _¦_^ i _*_ TB-JHrjTO YOUWG BOSSES By Heity JohMOB The old expression , breaking a colt , has gone out of fashion . A good colt is worth careful training , which should commence before the colt is a month old , some say a year after the colt i * fcaled . By handling young colts in • kindly manner they soon learn to become friendly and they seem anxious to do what you want them to do . The best breeders are very careful not to frighten a colt . Their memories are good ; they never forget abuse . If a colt has a good disposition it can be coaxed to do almost anything wanted of it , even fancy tricks may b * taught to young colts and they seem to enjoy the learning . When they grow large enough to wear a harness they are all ready for business and are all the better lor doing a little light work when they are two years of age . Right here , however , is where a great many colts are injured . Two-year-old cohs lack the hardness of bone necess...

THE FARM VETERINARY TO KILL CATTLE TICKS The best way to get rid of ticks on cattle is to go over them where ticks are found with a sponge well moistened with crude petroleum ; repeat when necessary until all ticks are destroyed . GRUBS VX THB HEAD OP SHEEP Where the sheep are troubled with grub in the head , which can be determined if there is a small swelling in front of the ear , bore a hole in the swelling with a gimlet and when the gimlet is withdrawn the grub will come out with the fluid that has accumulated . Then mix 1 dram carbolic acid with 6 ounces of water and wash out the part once a day for a few days . A PUZZLING LAHENBSS ; When a horse goes lame , it frequently puzzles one to find the cause . Sometimes the lameness will not be noticed until after driving several miles . If there is no sore spot to be found , and the feet are very hard , it may possibly be due to the hardness of the hoofs . Have the smith pare out the corns , if found present , then shoe with flat bar...
